HUMAN MEMOME PROJECT
The Human Memome Project develops a way to map
the memetic codes (stages or levels of consciousness) of the major
peoples, drivers, institutions, movements, and organizations of
the world.
The Human Memome Project will thus create a synthesis
of all of the various viewpoints on cultural transformation, societal
change, the nature of conflict, forms of conflict prevention,
and development, in order to generate sophisticated electronic
maps designed to monitor, at the deepest level, waves of chaos
and order, change and stability, and progress and regression within
our collective selves. These maps will help us identify problem
nodes throughout the world and allow us to predict major issues
before they occur. In order to construct this global memetic,
the project will:
- Insert the memetic indicators identified during
the research phase into specific locations.
- Isolate the size and shape of memetic variables
and points of convergence with other memes.
- Visually represent these memetic spaces using
topographical maps.
- Integrate this with other data and indicators
for assessment.
The Vital Signs Monitor will present its output
on large scale maps of the global memetic topography, detailing
where specific opportunities for change will exist as well as
what these changes will mean for the world at large within our
interconnected system. These memetic topographies, however, are
not just static representations of the way things are now; they
will provide the road maps for possible paths to the future.
